A new study based on the results of ESSIC researcher Ariana Sutton-Grier’s Hollings Scholar research work was published in the latest volume of Marine Policy. The study entitled, “Keys to successful blue carbon projects: Lessons learned from global case studies,” highlights the blue carbon storage capabilities of coastal wetlands and the efforts being implemented by many countries to restore and protect blue carbon resources.
![Satellite seasonal temperature difference maps indicate how the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and its organisms may respond to the temperature changes. Here, the maps show warmer than average water temperatures from January through March 2020, cooler than average from April through June, near average July through September, and slightly warmer than average October through December. The long-term baseline is from the years 2008-2019.]](https://essic.umd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/rv-chesapeake2-150x150.jpg)
